Chapter 2941: A Huge Bet

“I can take good things out, but you might not be able to.” The man spoke, squinting his eyes while observing the red figure barely discernible behind the crystal curtain, “I am Jiang s.h.i.+chang, Eldest Young Master of the second branch of the Jiang family, one of the eight influential families in Cardinal Point City. Are you brave enough to use yourself as a wager because you say you want to bet a little more?”
Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s eyes flashed with killing intent and a cold aura enveloped his whole body. He stared at the man without saying anything, but his hand on the side of the soft couch moved slightly and tapped lightly on the armrest.
“Are you betting on me?” Feng Jiu chuckled. “What will you use as your wager?” She stood up and walked slowly out of the crystal curtain and looked at the man standing at the fence.
The man’s eyes gleamed as soon as he heard this. He immediately raised his chin and said, “What about ten spirit herbs aged a thousand-year-old each and a hundred thousand rock crystals? Is that enough to place a wager on you?”
Feng Jiu chuckled. “I had no idea I was so cheap; this is the first time someone has offered such a price to bet on me; your courage is… not small.”
!!
The others were taken aback. Ten spirit herbs aged a thousand-year-old each were already exorbitantly expensive, let alone a hundred thousand rock crystals. Even if they were the Cardinal Point City’s eight most influential families, the one hundred thousand rock crystals would have paid for their ten-year expenses. How could Jiang s.h.i.+chang have the temerity to wager such a large sum of money on the woman in red?
In their opinion, no matter how beautiful the woman was, she was just a woman. Why risk such a high-stakes game? If he lost, it’s highly likely that even Patriarch Jiang would not let him off lightly.
After all, even if it was the second branch of the family, it represented the family heritage. If those were used to wager on a woman and the word got out, everyone would scold Jiang s.h.i.+chang as an idiot and shame him for his utter stupidity.
But if he won, things would be different.
If the huge bet hooked the woman in red, it would be like getting something for nothing. What’s more, from what they know, Jiang s.h.i.+chang recently got a contract beast, which was already a mature Fifth-grade Sacred Beast. As for that woman in red…
They thought she wouldn’t be able to come up with a Sacred Beast-level contract beast and would thus lose a great deal. Based on how she handled things just now, she should not be a brainless person. This was a wager that everyone shouldn’t bet.
However, while they were thinking about this, the voice of the woman in red over there suddenly rang out.
“You must bring your wager here if you want to gamble. Anyway, it’s still early. Young Master Jiang can make the arrangements so that everyone here can be a witness.”
Jiang s.h.i.+chang paused momentarily before responding, “Fine!” He removed his waist token and instructed the attendant to handle it.
People in the other rooms were smiling and saying, “You’re going to lose this bet with him, Miss. What about your husband? Will he let you mess around?”
With their cultivation, of course, they could see that she was still a virgin. What kind of husband? They supposed it was just a casual remark. How could she use herself as a wager if it was true?
The man across from them in Room 5 smiled. “As far as I know, the Jiang family recently acquired a fifth-grade sacred beast. It seems the beast got into Young Master Jiang’s hands and then became his contract beast. Otherwise, how could he take out ten spirit herbs aged a thousand-year-old each and one hundred thousand rock crystals?”
